GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com)
- After leading the team in scoring and rebounding in wins over Youngstown
State and Cleveland State, freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has been named the Horizon League Newcomer of the
Week, the conference office announced on Monday morning.

A 6-foot-7 forward, Fouse has been among the most
consistent players all season for the Phoenix. One of only three players to
start all 19 games, Fouse has led the Green Bay defensive effort during a
seven-game home winning streak. Last week, his offensive production went to
another level.

Fouse averaged 14.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals and
2.5 blocks per game. In the 77-50
victory over Cleveland State, Fouse posted a double-double with 17 points
and 10 rebounds and added four assists, four steals and three blocked shots. He
narrowly missed a double-double on Thursday, scoring 12 points and adding nine
rebounds in a 67-58
win over Youngstown State.

The leader among all Horizon League freshmen in rebounds,
steals and blocked shots, Fouse did not lead Green Bay in scoring in any of the
first 15 games. That changed on the team's 4-0 homestand as the Racine native
was the team's high point man in three of the four contests.

For the season, Fouse is averaging 5.9 points, 6.9
rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocked shots per game. He ranks second in the Horizon
League in rebounding, third in steals and fourth in blocked shots.

Sitting in a tie for third place, Green Bay plays at
first-place Valparaiso on Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. The contest will be
broadcast live on ESPN3.com.

Team Notes

The 27-point margin of victory in the win over
Cleveland State was the largest by the Phoenix in a Horizon League game since a
78-49 win over Youngstown State on Feb. 5, 2005.

Green Bay has improved to 9-1 on the season at
home, 21-3 in the past two years and 31-7 in the past three seasons.

During its seven-game home winning streak, Green
Bay is allowing just 49.3 points per game and 33.4 percent shooting from the
field. The Phoenix also holds a rebounding margin of plus-7.3 during that stretch.

Jordan Fouse and Brennan Cougill posted
double-doubles against CSU. It was the fifth time in the Division I era that
two Phoenix players had double-doubles in the same game. Four of those occasions
have occurred in the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle and two
of them have been this season.

The Phoenix made its last 17 free throws on
Saturday and 19 of its last 21 attempts on Thursday night.

Green Bay ranks second in the Horizon League and
20th nationally in free-throw percentage (75.2).

The Phoenix is first in the conference in free
throws made (321) and second behind Valparaiso in free throw attempts (427).

Green Bay's 10 team blocks on Saturday against
Cleveland State were tied for the second most in program history.

The Phoenix is 9-0 when holding its opponents
below 60 points.

Nine different Phoenix players have started at
least one game this season.

Green Bay put five players in double figures against
CSU, the first time since Feb. 12, 2012 at Detroit.

Individual
Notes

Junior Alec Brown has now scored 963 career
points and will be the program's 25th member of the 1,000-point club when he
surpasses that amount.

Brown tallied a season-high six blocks in the
win over Cleveland State.

With 16 blocks in the past four games, Brown now
has 187 career blocked shots. He has blocked a shot in 68 of 80 career games.

Sophomore Keifer Sykes has led the team in
assists in 13-straight games.

Sykes has scored in double figures in 18 of
Green Bay's 19 games and ranks fourth in the Horizon League in points per game.

The sophomore guard has now scored 625 career
points in 49 games (12.8 points per game).

After combining for just 11 three-pointers last
season, Brown and Sykes have knocked down 22 triples in 2012-13. The duo is shooting
40 percent (22-55) from long range.

Junior Daniel Turner started against Youngstown
State and Cleveland State. His start against YSU was the 36th of his career but
first since a game at Wisconsin on Dec. 7, 2011.

Brennan Cougill's double-double was his third of
the season and sixth of his two-year career.
